You are and always will be my brother in law! You are unforgettable! We will tell Jon stories, and show him pictures of you often. We will never let him forget how much you loved him! We will cry with Jon when he cries, smile when he smiles, and laugh when he laughs. Losing you has put a hole in our hearts that we will never be able to fill. We will all miss you Chris. Rest in peace my brother in law we will take care of things here on earth as you look after us in heaven. Thank you for being our angel now. Wrap your wings around your son and us as we try to get through life without you it will be hard because your personality is rare and hard to come by.
